THE PAMPAS COWBOY.
LEADING CHARACTERISTICS OF THE
 GAUcHo OF ARGENTINA
Half Savage, Half Courtier. and as Ro- Ientless as the Crave Horseman- ship aud Skill with tho
 Lasso--In Civilization.
INIontevlaeo Cor. Inter ocean.l


 The gaucho pronounced gow.cho) is the cowboy of Argentina aud urguay. a reckless daredevil, regardless a!iNe of God and man, peaceabIe when sober, but bowling saragc when drunk As bravo as lion. as active as panther, with en. duranCe ,uai to any test faithful to his fir ends, but as implacable as fate to his enemies. living the'year around with no roof but the azure sky, no bel but the ground, no pillow but his saddle, aHd no shelter but his poncho. He loves nothing but hs horse and the wora fear is not in his vOcabu.ary.
 lis speech is a mixture of Spanish and tue LuaTaui, or native Indian dialect; his costume is a poucho, a pair of buck skin brooches. high boots, and silver urs that weigh a pouud or two each. His saddle, his br.dle. and his brooches arc loaded with sil,er. representing tho aucumu ated earnings of h.s life. and when he wants to buy horse or a som. brero he pulls ol button or two, for among the race silver ornaments are legal tender.

Half savage, half court,e-. he is as polite as he is cruel. and will make a bow like dancing master CT kill fellow. being with us iittIc conscience aS he would kill " wolf. He re:uguizes no law but the unwritlen code of the cattle range, and all violations arc punishable by ban ishmcnt or death.

The cowboy of the Jn!ted States or the herters of Mexico would grow green with envy at the horsemaH. ship of the gaucho and his skill with the lasso. A n.id am.ug tIem is put in the saddle aS soon a. civilized boys are put in pants. and when he IS 10 or l3 years old he will ridc q tornado. A gaucLO who is thrown from hors ;back is as much d.sgraceI as if he had sto'en a sheep aud nothing be eau dU will restore his standing in society.
 The aHimas they ride are splendid Da- tive horses, larger than the native Arab or the broncho of the niled States. and equally fleet aud tough. fifty or sixty miles day is considered an easy ride. aud an ordinary pampa horse will make it as easily as an American horse will make ten. During the recent raid against the atagonian Indians a gauchU courier i5 Gaid tD have made % miles in foriy-eight hours with nine relays of horses includ. ing stops for food: and rides of 300 aud to miles are of common occurrence. 4 gaucho thinks DO more of such a gallop ss thus than an ordinary traveller does of trip from New York to Boston.
 INV HE USEs THE LhssN.
 The skill with wh ch the gaucho uses the iassO passes Credulity. At full ga lop he can throw e moose oI rawhidc W tn as grya. accuracy as an cX ert riheman will crack 6 glass ball He will catch sheep or hog or Il hOise by the les, as easily as q steer by the horns.

DUST TO DUST.

DIED-At ST. Paul, Minnesota,
Nav Is, 1887, Mrs. J. II. Lander,
nee Mamie E. Newland, aged 20
years.
Mrs. Lander was the eldest
daughter of Mr.. and Mrs. A. K. I.
Newland, of this place. She was
born in this valley, near where
Caldwell now stands, on the 10th
day of April, 1867, and has al
ways lived here until her marriage.
Her bright disposition and loving
ways soon made her a general IA
vorite with all whom she met, and
her sweet and earnest life more
than endeared her to the hearts Of
her friends. She was woman
that everybody loved. On the
25th day of August, 1885, she was
married to Mr.. J. II. Lander, who
took her to his home at st. Paul,
Minnesota. Her many friends
were 10th to part with her then-a
happy bride. How different the
second parting The remains
were brought to Caldwell for burial,
arriving here Friday morning. The
funeral took place at the church at
10 o'clock a. m. the same day, con-
Quoted by Rev. Dwight Spencer, of
Salt Lake. Nothing could so
forcibly tell of the high esteem and
love of this community for pretty
Mamie Newland, as the large num-
Der of sorrowing friends that paid
their last respects to the dead at
the funeral. She was buried in the
Caldwell cemetery.
Her mother was summoned to ST.
Paul by her illness and was with
her during the last hours. Her
death was a very severe blow to her
parents, and they have the heart
felt sympathy of the entire COM
munity in this the hour of tn cir
afliiction.

THE ENTERTAINMENT.

The church was crowded at the
recent entertainment given by the
Caldwell Presbyterian Society, and
no one was sorry that they had ia
ken the time to go. The costumes
of the ladies were elegant-some
of them elaborate-and it is safe
to say that no stage in the country
was ever honored with more beauti
full ladies than was the stage at
this entertainment. The ex-
ercises were opened by an excel
lent piano duet by Mrs. w. B.
Water and Mrs. G. H. Sebree,
which was followed by we'll
rendered chorus by the Caldwell
Choral Union. Miss Edna Little
then told the story of little George
Washington and his Ratchet under
cross-fre of questions from the
average boy, and told it well. Miss
Edna certainly deserved the
hearty applause which told of the
audiences appreciation of her
efforts. The male chorus-"Old
Shady"-by Messrs. Ralph and
Adrian Cakes, Gwinn, Blatchly
and Wheeler took the house by
storm and they were compelled to
acknowledge an encore. "Old
Shady" was followed by trio-"O
Restless Sea"-by Mrs. c. H. Sc
bree and Messrs. Blatchley and
Gwinn. Mrs. Sebree has voice
of rare sweetness and culture and
her singing was one of the triumphs
of the evening. 1t is needless to
state that she was ably assisted by
Messrs. Blatchley and Gwinn.
After another chorus by the
Choral Union, Misses Ada Frost
and Stacia Kelliher illustrated by
a dialogue some of the slight changes
that have taken place in the man
ner of things by the strides
of civilization. This was hugely
enjoyed by the Brotherhood of
Bachelors, who were present in a
body, until Miss Stacia announced
her engagement, which had very
depressing effect upon them. They
visibly frightened up, however,
when Miss Ada intimated that she
was still "heart and fancy free"
"White Wings" solo and chorus,
by Mrs. Strahorn, Miss Caldwell,
H. D. Blatchley and Adrian Cakes
was most highly appreciated by the
audience, judging from the rounds
of applause which greeted it. AS
Mrs. Strahorn is recognized as one
of the finest singers in the territory
by competent judges of music,
words from us would rather detract |
than add to her merited reputa-
ton. Miss Caldwell's alto was ex-
ceptionably good, being strong,
clear and well rendered, 1t will be
The Caldwell tribune. [volume] (Caldwell, Idaho Territory [Idaho]) 1883-1928, 1887-05-21

hard if not impossible to fill Miss
Caldwell's place after she leaves us.
In the recitation of "Archie Dean
Mrs. H. d. Blatchley won many
laurels as an elocutionist. 1t was
a good selection and was rendered
in an easy, self-possessed style that
could not fail to please. 'The
Sword of Bunker HILL" a solo by
Mrs. Thos. Harrison was well re-
ceived by the audience. Mrs. Har-
rison has voice of wonderful
compass, strength and purity, and
ranks among the best singers of
Caldwell. The "Gobble Song"
from La Mascotte, by Mrs. Stra-
horn and Judge Beatty was UNI
doubtedly the browning event of
the evening. Their costumes, as
was their singing, were good.
They acknowledged an encore with
an amusing song which did not by
any means detract from the laurels
already won.
Following short intermission
came the only original Peake sis
ters-ten old maids-who by their
unparalleled songs soon succeeded
in convulsing the audience with
laughter. Mrs. Strahorn, the boss
Peake, gave the audience a short
touching account of their lives and
travels, and in regard to their future
movements vouched the infor-
nation that after doing the United
States they would go to Nampa.
While reciting the family history
the Bachelor Club was deeply
affected, but when the sad fate of
D and E was announced-they
having never been born-the Club
wept copiously and like Rachel
weeping for her children, would not
be comforted. Roberts was espec-
tally violent. After the sad family
history had been told and the tears
baled out of the room, the Peakes
rather took the aggressive and
threw all kinds of challenges at the
poor defenceless Club. One sweet
little girl just seventeen sanga low,
pathetic song bewailing the fact
that she hadn't beau, and the
rest of them joined the chorus with
will that put the Club to shame.
They stood it well, however, until
Peake more aggressive than the
rest started off something like this:
There's Picard and Baker and Steunenberg,
And Ralph Cakes, and Gussie and Noe,
They can't talk of love worth button,
Or else they are terrible slow
That settled the Club, but the
Peake sisters managed to amuse
the audience for some time.
Mrs. w. B. Waters presided at
the piano during the entire per-
Torrance, and to her the thanks Of
the society are due. Mr.. p. A..
Devers managed the stage with the
skill becoming a retired end man.

Monte B. Gwinn is back again.
we had almost given up hope of
ever seeing Monte again, but are
glad we re fooled. He has
been all over Illinois, Ohio and
Missouri since he left, and says
that with the exception of places
where there is excitement over
natural gas or ''sich," the east is
very dull. He also says that Idaho
is becoming better known and he
talked with several eastern men
who did not ask him what part of
Oregon Idaho was in. They seem
to labor under the impression, how
ever, that this is very cold coun-
try, and undoubtedly thought he
exaggerated when he truthfully
told that we failed to get ice last
winter.
